Big Data POC: Dos and Don'ts
Do:
• Go above-and-beyond
• See it, feel it
• Keep an “open” mind
• Trust and verify
• Consider the alternatives
• Let the IM and App Worlds collide
• Keep teams small
Don’t:
• Focus solely on new technology
• Expect solutions to existing data
issues
• Use old estimation models
• Confuse a POC for production
• Be a victim of success
